• Test, validate, and document cloud control implementations across AWS, Azure, and OCI, including IAM, network segmentation, encryption/key management, logging/monitoring, vulnerability management, container security, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Partner with Security Engineering, Cloud Engineering, DevOps, IT, and Product teams to translate compliance requirements into scalable, automated, and auditable technical controls.
• Own assessment execution end-to-end, including scope definition, technical walkthroughs, control testing, evidence validation, issue tracking, remediation follow-up, and reporting.
• Design, maintain, and improve audit-ready artifacts, including control narratives, test procedures, evidence mappings, technical diagrams, implementation documentation, and control validation results.
• Facilitate technical walkthroughs with stakeholders and auditors; clearly explain control intent, system architecture, implementation details, evidence sources, and test results.
• Identify control gaps, assess technical risk and business impact, and drive remediation to closure with accountable engineering and control owners.
• Support continuous compliance through control automation, recurring evidence collection, control health monitoring, and integration with tools such as cloud security platforms, ticketing systems, SIEM, vulnerability management tools, and GRC platforms.
• Own or support key GRC services, including policy lifecycle, risk management, FedRAMP continuous monitoring, POA&M management, customer due diligence, security questionnaires, and audit readiness, with a focus on process improvement and automation.
• Build compliance metrics and reporting, including dashboards, scorecards, executive summaries, control health indicators, remediation trends, and audit readiness reporting.
• Develop or support automation scripts, queries, workflows, or integrations to streamline evidence collection, control testing, compliance monitoring, and reporting.
• Evaluate cloud services, system changes, and new technical implementations for compliance impact and advise teams on control requirements early in the design and deployment lifecycle.
• Maintain strong working knowledge of cloud security architecture, identity and access management, secure SDLC, infrastructure-as-code, logging/monitoring, vulnerability management, encryption, and change management practices.
